Easy peasy! Just tilt the card back and forth under a light source. If you see a shiny, reflective surface on the picture area (not the whole card, just where the Pokemon is), congrats, you've got yourself a holo! Also, check for a little 'H' or the word 'Holo' in the bottom corner of the card; sometimes they mark it.

I once bought a pack thinking they were all holos because the seller said so. Turns out, only one had that rainbow shimmer when I checked under the light. Lesson learned: the shine test never lies!

Don't overthink it. If it shines, it's a holo. No shine, no holo.
